i meant that when you hold a barbell and lift weights, there is 3 types of grip (narrow,medium and wide grip)in grip i mean the place where you put ur hands on the barbell when lifting weights.what is the effect of variation between these grips??
 
What exercise are you talking about?

For bench press, I just have my hands right outside of shoulder width, but sometimes I do close grip - with the hands closer in. I never press with a wide grip.

For squats I put my hands out a little bit wider than most people because I am squatting low bar these days and that feels most comfortable.

I never do wide grip pull ups.

Is this what you mean?

Patrick
 
I think Patrick meant "for which lift".

For lat pulldowns or chins, for example, wide grip does not build width - it actually takes some of the vertical load off the lat and places it on the rotator cuff. Think "triangle" or "vector" and you'll see the problem.

I'll give this back to Patrick for the other lifts, since I would be extending beyond the scope of my knowledge for the other lifts.
 
For wide grip and close grip pull ups what is the difference? I mean do they work different muscles or does it just make the workout harder?
 
Close grip places the force vector directly on the lats and biceps.

Wide grip triangulates the force vector, reducing some of the vertical load off the lat and placing it instead on the rotator cuff.

(In other words, don't do them).

changes the muscle focus. inside grips work more pupper sholder
outside grips really work the lats and the rotator!

hello friend ,
firstly who is worry about their health and not able to understand that what they do for lose their wait.so i'll gave you a suggestion that this not a big problem for you.
first i'll share you my experience that i lose 10 kg wait with in 3 years.
now you think that how?
so i lose it by yoga.
yoga is best way for shape your body and it is also beneficial for our disease which is not handled by anyone.
i fell very good because i share my experience with you.
 
I was throwing my hands up in the air and going to then melt down to maybe a tear or two,:wits: but you saved me...thank you for the information!
 
Thank you so much for providing me such a good information. this article shows me how to do a good exercise and how to build my routine exercise schedule.
 
I like the idea of hitting 10-15 reps while working on their form for the newbie. That will develop muscle training to get stronger.

True! I always hate to see people doing extremely wide pull-downs/pull-ups. The best and most effective thing to do is take "shoulder width" grip. Anything wider than that and it puts more stress on your rotator-cuff.
 
Thanks for all info- building routine now - honestly would u workout different if using enhanced since recovery quicker
